My daughter is 12 weeks and I leave her on for about 20 min on each breast. I feed her until she unlatches herself or I notice she's not sucking and just playing around or falling asleep. Doctors go by standards but not all babies are the same. My daughter will normally get the tired look but it also just depends on what time of the day it is. Trust your instinct. If you feel your baby is still hungry, keep feeding!

At two months, my first still nursed about 20 minutes on each side every 2 hours. My little girl has always only need 10 minutes and only one side. She's growing at about the same pace as big brother. She only eats once between 11pm and 8am, then naps from 12-4, but during her waking hours eats about ever 2. She doesn't get that milk-drunk look much anymore either. I think she's just more awake now.

My son will only ever eat off my right breast so I have let the left dry up. He would stay on forever if I let him. Actually I could use some advice. He unlatch him when he iscomfort sucking or fallen asleep and he instantaneously starts screaming. When I relatch him he sometimes eats a little more or sometimes falls right to sleep. I do not know how to break this habit.. Any ideas? He is only three months so not willing to let him cry it out.

Sounds like my LO.... Lol she only gets milk drunk when givens bottle of BM and feeds on one breast for as long as I let her and at night I keep her on for almost an hour we just nurse in bed so sometimes I doze off! I found that at night when I pull her off because she's sleeping or suckling for comfort she starts screaming and acts like she wants to nurse so when I go to out her back on the breast she gets all crazy and ends up licking my breast... During the day she would nurse for an hour in one breast also but I stop her when she falls asleep or isn't feeding and she seems fine with that
